Rookie Chase Meidroth is proud to help give White Sox fans some hope for the future
As the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Sunday, Chase Meidroth went one-for-four, scored a couple of runs, and provided some steady defense as he splits time between shortstop and second base. The confident rookie is part of a young core giving long-suffering Sox fans some hope for the future. Meidroth was thrown right into the deep end of the pool upon being traded to the Sox in December, and he has been swimming more than sinking — floating with hitting .300. He said it's all about discipline, and not focusing on stats. "I think you just show up every day and you try to win a baseball game. You try not, you know, to look at your own numbers — and as much as you do that, and as much as the team's having success, you'll look back and you'll be like, 'Oh, I did pretty well this year,'" Meidroth said. Meidroth, a Southern California native, was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2022. He was playing in the minors until being traded to the White Sox along with Wikelman Gonzalez, Braden Montgomery, and Kyle Teel in exchange for Garrett Crochet. At the time, the White Sox were notorious for all the wrong reasons. They set the modern-era MLB record for most losses in a season, finishing 41-121, finishing 41-121. Meidroth said that was not a concern of his. "I really didn't know. I was really excited for the opportunity, and obviously blessed to be part of it, so I was really excited to get over here. I didn't know what it was like, and I didn't have any expectations," he said. "But you know, I'm having fun. We've got a really good group of guys in there, and I'm looking forward to showing up every day in the park, you know, to win a game." Meidroth said he has bonded with his fellow rookies Teel and Tim Elko, as they grow their skills together. "You know, you just take it day by day and then try to win pitch by pitch, and it's really easy, you know, bouncing ideas off those guys, competing every day with those guys," Meidroth said, "and you know, Teel especially — I was with him last year, and he's a baseball rat, and we both love the game, so it's easy to show up and compete every day with a guy like that." Meidroth did suffer through an embarrassing moment in May, when a high pop fly by the Kansas City Royals' Drew Waters clipped off Meidroth's glove and hit him in the head as he tried to catch it. "Obviously, I didn't plan for that to happen," he said. "That's part of it — errors are going to happen. But you show up the next day, and show up to win a game the next day." Meidroth said while there are inevitably ups and downs, "the rest of the season has been pretty fun, and yeah, we've had a good time here." He called Chicago an awesome city, and is proud to be part of the rebuild effort for the White Sox. "I'm really excited," Meidroth said. "It's one of those things where the feeling at the end of the tunnel is going to be worth it because of the strides that we put in now."

White Sox call up catcher Kyle Teel; team's No. 2 prospect to start against Royals
The Chicago White Sox have called up another one of their top prospects, catcher Kyle Teel. To make room, they've sent down another young catcher to AAA Charlotte, Korey Lee. Teel will start behind the plate while batting sixth on Friday night in his Major League Baseball debut against the Kansas City Royals. The 23-year-old was acquired in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Boston Red Sox in December. The athleticism of the White Sox' No. 2 prospect has been on full display in Charlotte, where he was hitting .295 with eight home runs and 30 RBI in 50 games, and taking a few ground balls at first base, but the plan is for Teel to be a catcher in Chicago and he's pumped to see his dream become reality. "I'm just pure excitement. You know, it's hard to honestly describe it, because you imagine this day, and when it comes true, it feels a little different than you imagine it, but it's just really special," Teel said. "Again, you know, it's something I worked my whole life for. It's really special when you walk in the locker room and you see your nameplate on your locker. It's like, 'wow.' Like, 'I did it. I'm here, and I'm ready to go." Teel said the first person he called was his dad, Garrett. He has an extensive list of family watching his White Sox debut, with 27 members in attendance at Rate Field. When Chase Meidroth, another prospect who was acquired by the White Sox in the Crochet deal, was brought up in April, Meirdroth told Teel he might need a collared shirt for his major league arrival, and Teel gave the infielder one of his own. So Charlotte manager Sergio Santos returned the favor when he broke the news to Teel that he was going to Chicago, handing over a new shirt. Teel was the No. 14 pick in the 2023 amateur draft out of the University of Virginia. His arrival marks a positive moment for a last-place White Sox team in the middle of a painful rebuilding process.
